We have made a couple of changes to the quicklinks on the left-hand column of this page and wanted to highlight them here.
- The Edulastic/Clever link has been added. This link will automatically sign you into Edulastic through Clever. All teachers in the District have premium accounts for Edulastic and your classes/courses are all being pulled in nightly through Clever.
- We have updated the HMH Central icon to reflect the new logo/name and removed the old SAM and Scholastic icons. Both educators and students use the same link to login now.

UPDATE:
You should have received a welcome email from SchoolDude with the subject line "Welcome to TechnologyEssential" asking you to set a password for your new account.
This is a legitimate email that was generated when our users were imported into the new help desk platform. The new help desk system, which replaces IT Request, features a host of upgrades on the front-end as well as on the back-end that will streamline support and ticket management allowing us to provide you with the best, most efficient support possible.
We will officially make the switch to the new platform at 3pm tomorrow, Friday, April 13th. After 3pm, you will be automatically redirected to the new platform to submit any support requests. Therefore, please set a password using the email you received yesterday at your earliest convenience in order to begin submitting IT requests using the new platform.
District Website and Teacher Pages Migration

Two quick clarifications regarding the Website transition:
- The current Blackboard SchoolWorld platform was discontinued as of earlier this year and was scheduled be shut down December 31, 2017. Therefore, this is not an optional move but a required, albeit much-needed, one to ensure the District's website meets newer Web 3.0 standards for functionality and accessibility (especially via mobile devices).
- Teacher Pages will mostly be transitioned intact, including password protection (for any pages that have it), with some minor exceptions due to compatibility issues:
- Forms Page
- Classes/Members of Class (not Google Classroom)
- Password Protected pages will be restricted to Teacher view only. Password protection works slightly different in Web Community Manager. Contact me once the transition occurs if you need help with password protecting a page.

Newsela is now available for all teachers in the District that would like to use it in their class. Content available ranges from grade 2-12. In order to access your account/classes you must use the Clever portal link (not the Google authentication). The link is also available under quicklinks on the left side of this page. Your classes are automatically imported from Clever nightly.
The District discontinued its subscription with TypingPal due to platform issues. We have transitioned to Typing.com, a free service, that integrates with Clever. You will need to use the Clever portal link (also available on the left side of this page under Quick Links). Your classes and students are automatically imported.
